 However, let's go ahead and get precedence out of the way!  It exists.  It's a real thing, and you might have
 a use for it.

-Basically, anything that goes into "role defaults" (the defaults folder inside the role) is the most malleable and easily overridden. Anything in the vars directory of the role overrides previous versions of that variable in namespace.  The idea here to follow is that the more explicit you get in scope, the more precedence it takes with command line ``-e`` extra vars always winning.  Host and/or inventory variables can win over role defaults, but not explicit includes like the vars directory or an ``include_vars`` task.

           This last one can be superseded by the user via ``ansible_group_priority``, which defaults to ``1`` for all groups.

 This is done so host-specific settings can override the general settings. These variables are normally defined per host or group in inventory,
 but they behave like other variables.
